If the X-Video movie playback bug with x86_64 Linux previously affected you, fear no more! Introducing the AMD fglrx 8.34.8 Linux display driver corrects this long-standing issue. There have also been a few bugs corrected in 8.34.8 along with official Radeon Xpress X1250 support, but other than that, this month serves as more of a maintenance release.
For nearly a year now ATI/AMD users have been plagued by crashes when attempting to play video on 64-bit Linux using the X-Video extension on X.Org 6.9+ systems. The only workarounds were switching to 32-bit Linux or using a different video extension, but fortunately this bug has been resolved with fglrx 8.34.8. We have tested this and X-Video has now worked properly.
